I love Hagley! We used to take field trips there when I was younger, but it's interesting how much more I appreciate it now. That's a gorgeous set of pictures. They capture so much detail and texture.

Woah woah woah, #37. You have awesome taste in music. I never find Steve Hogarth (or Marillion, for that matter) fans anywhere!

Almost every problem in that picture is a result of ill-fitting shoes or lack of alignment and strength in the legs and body. With knees bent and back curved, wearing shoes that don't fit their feet, it's no wonder that women face so many problems with their heels. In ballet, dancers have overcome such problems by practicing strength, balance, and alignment to remove stress from their knees and back, so it's obviously possible to escape the long-term effects of high heels. It's just a shame that there is no such preparation for heels in everyday life.

You know, I'd always been squicked by that bacon ice cream. But now I might just try it next time I'm at the beach!

Aah, I live right near the Happy Harry's drugstore where this happened!
